Why the selfsigned certificate is not usable

[woodlist]

Mr. Nordquist, thanks for great job. Please, advise how to get used the selfsigned certificates. The not valid being of selfsigned certificate is okay for given project.

You have two options:

• disable certificate validation
• add the root certificate (CA) via the "advanced" connection settings.

I'm trying to help a dev resolve issues with another project and I think there may be issues with certificate validation in his script causing my problem. MQTT Explorer connects to my Hisense TV with some certs I found on another project but I have to disable the validate certificates toggle.

My question is, how in MQTT do you set the validate certificates option? The other projects are using python with mqtt to connect to Hisense tvs.
